For two weeks next month, McDonald’s will be including children’s books in its Happy Meals instead of toys, with some 20 million books expected to be given out during that time. AdAge reported that there will be four, quote, “original children’s books carrying a nutritional message.” One of them, for instance, called The Goat Who Ate Everything, is the story of a goat who eats too much and learns to eat better.
